It’s Shinier Too

(Yikes, it’s been a while…)

Well, it finally did it. I’ve been a staunch Firefox user ever since it was in beta, since I liked using the same browser across multiple platforms, but it’s gotten to the point where it’s just too glitchy to tolerate. Pages not responding to the refresh button properly, unexplained choppiness in video playback, the tab bar not scrolling all the way and leaving some tabs accessible only by the tab list, crashes when I use the Flash player full-screen, the tab list missing some tabs at the bottom, high CPU usage on OS X even when lightly loaded, the Firefox window suddenly losing focus so I have to click on it again, not remembering passwords on some pages it should, and so on. Little things, but they add up.

So, I’m going to give Chrome a try for a while. There’s no guarantee that I won’t find a bunch of things about it that’ll annoy me just as much, but it’s worth a shot. Now I just have to find a set of equivalent extensions…
